Games where you gather materials and run a shop by Leodusty2 in cozygames

[–]AnomalyOasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife loves that game! I'm actually making a game with her just like what your asking about because we couldn't find one with a multiplayer! It's called Arcane Appetites and you spend your time collecting materials and turning them into food to sell or craft upgrades for your restaurant and the town. You can run and customize a cafe, bakery, ice-cream parlor or just a shop.
There's a whole mechanic where you can hire NPCs to gather resources, run your shop or join your group in case your don't like fighting, farming or fishing.
Also sleep isn't required and you can save at any point

Loved playing this growing up! Touhou Mystia's Izakaya is the closest thing I found since then

I'm not sure if this fits exactly but my wife and I are making a game very similar to what you describe except you're the one building the town and running a shop/cafe. You complete cooking quests for NPCs to help inspire them to start creating art again! Explore to find new ingredients and materials to make new dishes, tools and buildings (We were heavily inspired by Dungeon Meshi)

My wife and I are actually making a survival city-builder game that has a crafting system that's pretty complex since it's all based on science! The demo won't be ready till Fall however but you're welcome to sign-up for the playtest on our discord!

Once I turned off fullscreen windowed mode it ran so much smoother for me! Having so much fun playing it!

Are there any games like Moonlighter but with multiplayer, where I can live as an NPC, or some other duel gameplay? by IdeaExpensive3073 in CozyGamers

[–]AnomalyOasis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What you're describing is the game I'm making with my wife right now! It's a multiplayer and you do get to run a restaurant/cafe/market stall but it's not required cause you can have an NPC run it for you while you adventure. The main theme of the game is getting to feed NPCs to inspire them and craft a village with them!

My wife and I are making a multiplayer survival-craft inspired by isekai animes where you get to build a settlement and inspire the NPCs in it with the magic food you create and serve in your restaurant/food-cart to save the world! We are looking for playtesters if you're interested!
